Get Carried Away Tote - Great Travel Tote

I rec'd this today from the big weekend sale (60% off) at the VB.com site.

I can't believe how beautiful this tote is and I know I won't be needing to do a carryon suitcase any longer when I travel.

This bag would also make a great beach bag, overnight bag or anything you may want a larger tote for.

I also bought the weekender (60% off) and just love the style and size of this for quick trips.

I would check out VB.com when they are having a clearance sale (I signed up for their emails).

Great buys on retired patterns...just thought I'd share!

Re: Get Carried Away Tote - Great Travel Tote

I am so tempted by this bag. I would use it as my daily "everything tote" - to stash my work out clothes, a few pairs of shoes, makeup, hair tools, styling products, some paperbacks, work stuff, my planner, lunch, water bottles, and the various odds and ends that I carry to get me through a long day. (Especially when I'm heading out for plans immediately after work.)

No, I don't haul this much around with me everywhere, lol! I typically stash my large tote in my office for the day and travel with a small wristlet when I'm out and about at work. I just like knowing that I have access to anything and everything if I should ever need it.

I have one too, in canterberry magenta and it's really nice. Love all the pockets inside and out. I also love the QVC includes the ditty bag, great place for wet bathing suits or dirty clothes.

Re: Get Carried Away Tote - Great Travel Tote

I just got back from a trip and used this bag for the first time. No kidding. It held: week's worth undies, p.j.'s, jeans, three tops, two maxi's, sweater, boot socks, small purse, scarf and jacket! I used a matching VB bag for toiletries. Couldn't believe how much this bag held - - and I actually still had room for more.

Would this fit under an airplane seat? I have the travel duffel. I like to rest my feet on that when I travel! For those of you that have both, do they hold about the same amount?

No, I don't think so. It's pretty big. The Weekender is about the right size for UNDER a seat.

Thanks benzgirl - I'll look into that one! Smile

I think the carried away tote is my favorite of Vera's travel bags. You can definitely get a bout a week's worth of clothes in it.

Re: Get Carried Away Tote - Great Travel Tote

I have one in Poppy Fields that I've had for years but just haven't used yet. I guess I'm still saving it.

During the last big sale, I bought one in Venetian Paisley. So, now I have two I haven't used yet lol
